锅炉的分类方法很多，可以按锅炉的用途分，也可以按锅炉的结构、燃料种类分，还可以按水循环形式、压力分类。

　　1、按锅炉用途分类

　　锅炉可以作为热能动力锅炉和供热锅炉。动力锅炉包括电站锅炉、船舶锅炉和机车锅炉等，相应用于发电、船舶动力和机车动力。供热锅炉包括蒸汽锅炉、热水锅炉、热管锅炉、热风炉和载热体加热炉等，相应地得到蒸汽、热水。热风和载热体等。

　　2、按锅炉本体结构分类

　　按锅炉结构分，主要分为火管锅炉和水管锅炉。火管锅炉包括立式锅炉和卧式锅炉，水管锅炉包括横水管锅炉和竖水管锅炉。

　　3、按锅炉用燃料种类分类

　　按锅炉用燃料种类分类为燃煤锅炉、燃油锅炉和燃气锅炉以及燃煤锅炉的升级技术，油气炉的替代产品---煤粉锅炉，煤气双用锅炉等。燃煤锅炉按燃烧方式可以分为层燃锅炉、室燃锅炉和沸腾锅炉。最新燃料为醇基燃料锅炉，他将大大减少燃煤锅炉对大气环境的污染。

　　Boiler classification many ways, according to the use of boiler points, you can also press the boiler structure, fuel types of points, but also by water cycle form, pressure classification.

　　1, according to the use of boiler classification

　　The boiler can be used as a thermal power boiler and a heating boiler. Power boilers include power plant boilers, ship boilers and locomotive boilers, etc., corresponding to power generation, marine power and locomotive power. Heating boilers include steam boilers, hot water boilers, heat pipe boilers, hot air furnaces, and heating medium heating furnaces, and accordingly steam and hot water are obtained. Hot air and heat carrier.

　　2, according to the boiler body structure classification

　　According to the boiler structure, divided into fire tube boiler and water tube boiler. Fire tube boilers include vertical boilers and horizontal boilers. Water boilers include horizontal and vertical water pipe boilers.

　　3, according to the type of boiler fuel classification

　　According to the types of fuel used for boilers, they are classified as upgrading technologies for coal-fired boilers, oil-fired boilers and gas-fired boilers and coal-fired boilers, and alternative products for oil and gas furnaces, such as pulverized coal boilers and gas dual-use boilers. Coal-fired boilers can be divided into stratum-fired boilers, room-fired boilers and boiling boilers according to the combustion method. The latest fuel for the alcohol-based fuel boiler, he will greatly reduce the coal-fired boilers on the air pollution.
